At The Livity School, we are committed to raising pupil achievement across our curriculum alongside the wider developmental learning needs of our pupils. We invested the pupil premium income in targeted additional support to enable us to meet our pupils’ special educational needs, the main barrier to learning. The additional support is to ensure pupil outcomes, in terms of their progress, achievement and engagement in the curriculum, are met.
